Wonder if this is the missing red C&C.


Looks like they put bondo in there. Duh. They need to scrape all the rust out. They
need to sand blast it. They need to put 5200 in there. Then they need to fix it good
with cloth and resin. Even I know that much. Actually, get rid of that fiberglass mess.
A boat that big should be made outta good strong steel. Cover the steel with some of
that fake shark skin so you never need to paint it and it'll last a lifetime....

Cheers,

It's a bad design and repair for sure. When Bubbles smacked that
rock he turned his C&C smile into a C&C **** eating grin. Only a fool
would be happy with a C&C with such a faulty dangerious design. They
should have wrapped the keel in the same thin skin of fiberglass the
C&C hull are made from.
